Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy Chapter 1263: The Battle of the Top Students
Previously on Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy...
According to the information Ruth read, this person’s name was Johan and was quite a strong contender to win the overall Combat Arts competition if it wasn’t cancelled because of the attack made by the Evil Entities and the Cultists behind them.
At this time, Johan’s aura seemed ordinary, yet something about him felt wrong.
Ruth thought as she couldn’t read the man.
But still, as someone who needed preparations, she considered what she could do about him later...
Her fingers traced faint runes in the air, as she was preparing contingencies.
’
Ruth exhaled slowly, as she maintained her defensive posture...
She wasn’t here to dazzle the crowd with a display of her fancy Rune Arts... She was here to endure, adapt, and strike when the moment was perfect in order to win!

In the meantime, Johan, disguised as a Combat Arts student, smiled faintly. He activated his Combat Aura and created a bloodlust that made those who were near him tremble in fear...
This was the manifestation of his Aura!
But unlike them, his power was far deeper. It was hidden beneath layers of restraint to ensure that his divinity would not be found out...
Soon, his Divine Sense swept across the battlefield, cataloguing every move, every weakness of his opponents.
"Mhmm... not bad," he muttered. "But none of you will last."
Johan then realized that he needed to start reducing the number of contestants.
Just like that, his Combat Aura was activated, and a crimson wave or his bloodlust started spreading around him, and the nearest Elemental Arts student felt it immediately!
"Is that you?! What a strong bloodlust! Are you a murderer?" One of the Elementalists was shocked as he raised his hands, conjuring a wall of flame, but Johan’s fist shattered it with a single strike.
Boom!
"Hahaha! That’s not important, is it?!"
The impact sent the student to the ground, his magic zone collapsed under the sheer force of Johan’s Martial State. He probably won’t be able to cast any spells for some time, essentially defeating him in the process.
Perhaps, if someone attacked this downed student, his Talisman would already be triggered, disqualifying him in the Battle Royale.
Meanwhile, another challenger, a Mystic Arts practitioner, attempted to bind Johan with chains of light!
The glowing links wrapped around his arms, but Johan’s aura pulsed, and the chains cracked like brittle glass!
It happened so quickly. Then, he charged forward, striking the Mystic student in the chest, sending him flying across the arena floor!
He seemed unstoppable!
The crowd gasped, realizing that they had underestimated a Combat Artist!
Johan wasn’t just fighting, he was dismantling opponents one by one, exposing their weaknesses with a single punch!
"Hahaha! I’m the strongest Martial Artist! Come!"
After hearing the provocation, the battlefield shifted. Elemental Arts students began coordinating, they started moving together, creating firestorms, ice spears, and earthen walls to trap Johan!
Then, Dark Arts practitioners cloaked the area in low-level Dark Spirits and used curses, spreading like a web to slow him down.
Psychic Arts students joined in, their minds started pressuring Johan’s thoughts, attempting to cloud his focus.
Even the alchemists hurled vials of fire and acid!
But Johan thrived in chaos.
He laughed and ducked beneath a wave of fire. He even relied on her aura that shielded him from the heat!
It was then that he struck the ground with his palm.
Boom!
The shockwave disrupted the Dark Spirits, scattering the illusions. A psychic tried to pierce his mind, but Johan’s Spell was too vast! The attack rebounded, leaving the psychic staggering in pain instead!
But finally, one figure from Aufidius Academy stood out among the alchemists.
His body burned with blue fire! An alchemical flame infused directly into his body!
"Johan! You’re a lot stronger than what I heard! You deserve to be defeated by my flame!"
Unlike ordinary flame, this higher-tier flame felt like it was alive!
It was coursing through his veins, and when he released it, the arena shook.
Boom!
Blue flames surged outward, consuming stone and steel alike.
Needless to say, the heat was unnatural, and several students screamed as their defenses melted.
The alchemist laughed as he hurled spheres of blue fire that detonated like miniature suns!
He had to do this fast since his current state wasn’t something that could last forever! He still had a limited Arcane Energy!
Ruth, on the other hand, was watching from her corner. Seeing the chaos, she just tightened her defenses.
Soon, another Draconic Scale Rune was triggered, resisting the heat, even with the pressure.
’
Soon, the other students rallied against the Blue Fire alchemist, but his power was overwhelming. Elemental Arts practitioners tried to counter with water and ice, but the flames devoured them.
Even Dark Arts curses fizzled in the heat, and lastly, the strongest barriers were actually cracked after being hit by his flame!
Then Johan moved.
He slipped through the chaos, so no one noticed until it was too late.
While the alchemist got their attention, he also unleashed another wave of blue fire, but Johan appeared behind the Alchemist!
"Hello!" Johan teased before his fist glowed faintly, not with flame or aura, but with restrained Arcane Energy!
Boom!
The strike landed squarely on the alchemist’s back.
The explosion of force shattered the blue fire of the Alchemist, dispersing it into harmless sparks.
On the other hand, the alchemist gasped before he started convulsing and finally collapsed to the ground.
The crowd erupted in shock! One of the most chaotic figures in the arena had been defeated in a single, precise blow from a Combat Artist!
Ruth’s eyes widened.
’
As soon as Ruth made a decision, she immediately acted!
